But Buttigieg said it will save 362 lives per year ...

This, in a nation that has had 40,000+ motor vehicle fatalities in each of the last three years.

You're seeing what happens in a nation that is run by retarded people.

It’s already a standard feature on most new cars, especially with cruise control. What they want is something else entirely, the ability to stop your car remotely. They want to control everyone. We’ve all seen drivers going what we believed to be exceedingly fast and that image is what they are playing into here. That guy going 100 MPH and weaving lanes etc. But if traffic is flowing fine at 75-80 mph I don’t have a problem with drivers keeping pace. Slower drivers should move the right - that used to common courtesy. The lane changes around slower cars are more dangerous than the speed on an open road or in flowing traffic.

And here again the government is getting in the way of technology- they are not helping. FSD - Full Self Drive is here now and it’s very good. It will get a lot better in not a long time. Cars will communicate with each other and make their intentions known. “I need to move right to exit” “I need to merge left to catch the interstate” “I’m going to pass you on the left” etc and the traffic will adjust to accommodate every car’s needs well in advance. They will break on their own already if they have to but really they will have great situational awareness and traffic jams will diminish as will risks. Putting automatic braking may sound like a public good but it’s really a very ignorant understanding of what is developing.

Braking for safety is a good feature to help a distracted driver or to react faster in cases of emergency. Braking because the sign says 55 and you’re going 60 is a bad idea and will just make traffic worse.

After such a swell job that Buttigieg has displayed, why would any thinking person listen to his advice or thoughts?
